While there were no broken bones, now comes word that Haniger was so badly injured he may need plastic surgery to fix the facial lacerations he suffered.
#Mariners RF Mitch Haniger is headed to the DL. Has lacerations on his face that will likely require plastic surgery. No broken bones.

Haniger is headed to the 10-day disabled list.
It's the second time in two days a major league player has been hit by a like drive. Diamondbacks pitcher Robbie Ray was hit was a 105 MPH line drive on Friday and carted off the field. He's under the concussion protocol.
